We are Swimming in the rain!

Hey All! Just a reminder that we WILL swim even if it rains  We have the temperature on the pool bumped up so it's toasty warm. We will cancel only if we have thunderstorms or high winds (or ridiculous rain like last night!). I will be in the pool and can't answer my phone from 3 - 5:30 so if you need to call, call my mom, Cindy, 208-713-8113. Between 5:30 - 7:00, you can call me! Cathy (208) 914-0045. Even if we have to cancel one class, we will usually still swim the rest! So dress warm and bring umbrellas for poolside  See you!

Swim Registration

Hi Lil' Fish!  Unfortunately we filled up very quickly this year so we are not re-opening registration.  However, we do still have a few spots here and there and this will constantly be changing as there will be cancellations and changes.  So feel free to check the schedule often to see if there are openings.  I'll also post openings on our Facebook Page (Cathy's School for Lil' Fish) so be sure to like it!  If you see something you want, simply email me at:

cathyslilfish@gmail.com

Be sure to include your phone number the name(s), age(s) and level(s) of the people you are registering and what dates and times you want and I'll send you back a confirmation email that will have all the other information you should need.  You can also email me to request to be put on our waiting list in case of cancellations.  Let me know which sessions and times you're available (i.e I can do any of the first 3 sessions any time except 12 - 3).  We look forward to swimming with you this summer!

Swim registration 2018

Hello Little Fish!  It's time to start thinking about swimming lessons again this summer!  Registration for swimming lessons will open this year on April 26th at 7:00 a.m. and will remain open until we have 200 families registered.  At that time we will temporarily close registration until we have processed those first 200 and then we will re-open registration a few days later :)  Here is how you register!


1. Go to our website at www.boiseswimming lessons.com and click on "schedule" at the top of this page. Scroll ALL the way to the bottom to read a description of levels and determine which level you should register your child(ren) for.  Then look through the sessions and pick out the dates and times you would like. We highly recommend picking at least 2 - 3 options that would work for you and putting those down on the online registration form so that if we can't get you into your first choice, we can work you into your 2nd or 3rd choice! Or, better yet, just give us a window of time (i.e. please schedule me between 9 and noon this session)!

2. When registration opens, click on this link to take you to the registration form and fill it out.  It will ask for your name, phone number and email, your child(ren)'s name(s), age(s) and level(s) and which session(s) and time(s) you want.  There is a limit of two sessions per child for the initial registration on April 26th.:    https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSefExkI55IxRBsv0OgQkMn7abrRgarbsl6d3Cjm7s9vOTsCow/viewform?usp=sf_link

3. When you click submit at the end, you will get a confirmation message letting you know that we've received your form.  All of the forms will be time stamped, and we will respond to requests in the order that they are received.  Please keep in mind that in past summers, we have received more than 200 forms in the first 3 minutes of registration so even if you register right at 7:00, it may take up to 48 hours to get back to you. 

4.  After you register you will receive an email confirming your session(s) and class time(s), however your spot is NOT held until we receive payment.  All money is due by May 15th regardless of which session you register for and you will receive a confirmation email that your payment has been received.

If you do NOT receive an email confirming that we have received payment, please contact us to make sure that we have received payment or your spot will be given to someone else.  Your tuition is NOT refundable except in the case of extreme illness of the student.

If you register for multiple sessions (ie. June 20-30 and July 25-Aug. 4) you may pay for one session May 15 and the other by June 15 but the above policies are still in force.  Tuition will be $65 per student per 2 week session

We look forward to working with you this summer!

Swimming Lessons 2018

How do I register for swim lessons in 2018?  I get this question all of the time :)  So here is what you need to know!  We are a seasonal business and run lesson from the end of May through August.  We will post our schedule for this summer's classes around the last week of March or the first week of April. At that time, we will also post instructions for registering.  Registration will be right around the middle of April, so this will give you a couple of weeks to check out the schedule and compare with your summer plans before registering.  Registration happens online and the link will go live at a specified date and time, which we'll post when we post the schedule at the very end of March.  We do tend to fill very quickly, so if you plan on registering for specific classes, we encourage you to hop online right when registration opens.....and type quickly :)  If you want to be notified when we post the schedule, you can email us at cathyslilfish@gmail.com and ask to be added to our email list. You can also like our Facebook Page.  We'll post on there and send an email out when the schedule is ready and posted.  You can also just check back here on the website the last couple of days of March or first couple of days of April.  We look forward to swimming with you this summer!!!
